Brewster (Bud Cort) is an intellectual boy who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome. With the aid of a mysterious guardian angel, he develops a pair of wings to help him realize his dream of flying inside the stadium. In her first feature film, Shelley Duvall “ unlike anyone seen onscreen before. She acted in her own rhythm, with that spaced-out singsong voice, creating a character so sweetly detached she seemed like a cracked angel.” – Variety
